Plant-A-Plant Company - Inspired by Virginia gardens and Mount Vernon, homeowners asked Plant-A-Plant to create similar ones on their Leesburg property.

Landscape designer Lisbeth Prins conceived a plan for a series of gardens. A pleasure garden features a lawn framed by crape myrtle. A path of pea gravel bordered by boxwood divides it from another garden partitioned by holly. A lower tier, separated by a 30-inch-high wall of stone excavated from the site, contains a vegetable garden. An octagonal garden house is modeled on one at Mount Vernon.

The hardscape contains large-format elements such as 100-by-125-by seven-and-a-half-foot-tall garden walls built using handmade Jefferson Oversize Bricks in a Flemish bond pattern similar to The Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg.

Design Features

• A tiered, brick-walled garden leads to the house
• Views from the house extend through the garden gates
• Garden rooms are divided by disease-resistant boxwood, dry-stack stone walls and perennials
• A homemade blend of soil amendments completes the vegetable garden
• All herbaceous perennials and herbs in the garden have medicinal value and are native to Virginia
